Clinical Trials

The University of Florida’s faculty and staff participate in numerous clinical trial projects, studying investigational drugs or devices. This website is designed to provide guidance and information about DSP’s Clinical Trial Procedures. HSC faculty and staff must also follow the procedures of the Research Administration and Compliance Office.

Clinical studies are usually funded on a per-patient basis with provisions for pro-rated payment for patients who do not complete the study. All costs necessary to conduct the study, including salaries, procedures, services, supplies and indirect costs, should be considered when determining the fixed per-patient amount.

Division of Sponsored Programs, College of Medicine Research Administration and Compliance, Clinical and Translational Science Institute and Institutional Review Board collaborate together to assist UF faculty and staff in the registration of all applicable clinical trials and to maintain FDAMA and FDAAA compliant records.
